| In re Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting Corp. (DBN) |
Bankr. ED NY | A Chapter 9 debtor must be authorized under State law to file a bankruptcy petition. Although NY State law authorizes a county to file a bankruptcy petition, it does not authorize a county to authorize another entity to file a bankruptcy petition. Hence, the OTB debtor's bankruptcy filing is unauthorized and is dismissed. |
